a CONSTITUTIONAL convention
ought to be held by all means
The State needs it, and honest peo-
pie are in favor Of it. But what are
the chances tor such convention?
The chances seem to be anything
else but Hattering in New Castle
county. The old nuts are deep: the
office holders care but little, us they
secured their offices many of them
by the old constitution, while if
there was q change, where would
they be? The matter of who should
hold office should BE- left with the
people, and now it is the peoples
chance to vindicatc their rights
The constitution is an article of ante
bellum times; it invests too much
power upon the Chief Executive of
our State, and it is question as to
the ability Of that gentleman max
ing good appointments, when there
is much power behind the Exccu-
tive Chair Those interested should
come out, but who is it that is inter
ested about here? There is general
apathy about a change and many
are willing to let the antiquate!
document stand intact We hope
no one will take the matter into con
sideration and have the whole Stat,
framed and exhibited at the coming
celebration in Philadelphia

surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
zeal men throughout the whole

eminent surgeon in Cleveland,

appears that a 1irs. King had
been suffering foc many yeara
from some disease Of the ston,

treatment Of all tie physician
in attendance. TIE d;sease
commenced with slight de-
rangement of tie digestion,
with 8 poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint al gone sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After q while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold pe1spiration. There
was q constant tired and Ian

Is IL possible that We have not appreciated
Sullivan? Have We been guilty Of uncOuth igno-
rance and half barbar0us in difference to beauty
and strength, which are the theme OF art when we
have INDUCED in dcrsivc smiles because the Bos
ton Mayor and Aldermen glOrihcd the great slug
gcrp If Sullivan had been a Greek and fought In
the Olympian games, would Homer have sounded
the harp in his honor while the people crowned
him their hero2 Would he have fought his way
like Pollux, TO n place among the gods? Are we
only dull barbarians, after ALL and is Sullivan
the true type Of the higher civilization?
Mr. John Boyle ORclly has written an article
In " The Boston Herald" which suggests painful
reflections like these. Mr.. O'Reilly is not an
Aldcman-IIcavcn forbidi-nor even Mayor
lie has no alliliation with the lower strata OF
society. lie Is poet and a scholar, and what hc
says OF Sullivan and boxing is said from the point
OF view Of poetry and art. In a general way Mr.
ORcilly argues from history that skill In pugilsm
has always been colncdcnt with political freedom
The Nornans found England n country OF boxers
and handy users OF the quartcr-staif, and they
soon reduced the people, by disarming them and
dscouraging not only military but even athletic
exercises to dull clods who could neither stand up
for their rights nor deal straight cross counter
With the revival Of English liberties boxing and
other athletic sports renewed In
Ireland boxing has never revived. When
Donnelly defeated the English champions in the
early part Of this century, it was considered n
dangerous example and precedent for Irishmcn,
and from that time the people have been legls.
lated, educated and governed into ignorance Of all
means of attack and defence and Of everything
but work in the fclds' When liberty was In its
flower among the Greeks, athletic sports, nclud-
Ing wrestling and boxing, were at their best. Mr..
OReilly quotes from Homer the description OF the
fight, without gloves, between Ulysses and 1rus,
to show that good scientific boxing even judged
by the modern standards, was done in those days.
